On November 18, the Pokemon pet machine was officially sold in North America, RB, and Xiangjiang.

Although the Xiangjiang area is Wu Ming's home base, it is a pity that the high price of 160 Hong Kong dollars still makes most people retreat. Only some wealthier families buy this novel electronic pet toy for their children, so the first day of sales was only a few hundred units.

It can be said that in Xiangjiang, all the children who can get the Pokemon pet machine are superior among their classmates and friends, and scarcity is expensive. Seeing them holding the Pokemon pet machine there every day to feed, bathe, and see a doctor, everyone else was envious.

As for North America and RB, both of which are relatively affluent places, some middle school students may have $20 (5,000 yen) in pocket money. Thanks to the frenzied advertising promotion that has been going on this week, many people in both regions are aware of the Pokemon Pet Machine.

And those large shopping malls or small businesses are also very confident in Dole Toys because of the excellent history of Dole Toys in the past. So even though I didn't understand what fun this Pokemon pet level had, I still bought a batch of goods and put them on the sales counter.

Kenichi Shimada is a boy who has just entered the second year of high school, and he is at the age of puberty and has a budding effect on girls.

Kenichi Shimada is an avid fan of Rubik's cubes, roller skates, and yo-yos, and he plays with the Rubik's Cube for a while every day, goes out for a ride with his friends in roller skates, and competes with his classmates to see who is better at yo-yo when he goes to school.

Later, after he learned from a friend that these three toys were invented by a toy company, he became a fan of Tole Toys and has always paid more attention to Tole Toys.

In the past few days, he saw that Dole Toys and another game company had invented an electronic toy called a Pokemon pet machine on a TV commercial, and he was fascinated by this kawaii-looking electronic toy.

Especially when he saw that this toy could actually raise a small pet, Kenichi Shimada's desire to buy exploded. A female classmate he had a crush on once said that he wanted to have a small pet at home, but the parents at home were troublesome and afraid that the pet would be unhygienic, so they had been resolutely opposed.

Now that he can get a pet by buying a Pokemon pet machine, Kenichi Shimada is itching. In particular, the posters of the three pets in the advertisement were really kawaii, and they immediately attracted him deeply.

Isn't this very kawaii electronic toy suitable for girls, especially if you can also keep a small pet, just enough to give to the girl you have a crush. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to confess, thinking of the picture of the girl holding a Pokemon to accept herself, Kenichi Shimada is happy in his heart.

Looking at the promotional advertisements on TV again, Ken Shimada suddenly made up his mind and took out the pocket money left over from this time from the cabinet. Originally, I was going to buy a single copy of the girl's manga "Romantic Hero" that the girl with a crush liked very much. Now that there is a better alternative, there is no need to buy that manga single book anymore.

The day of the official release happened to be a Sunday, and Kenichi Shimada got up early without going to school. I rode my bicycle to a large shopping mall nearby.

Walking to the toy counter, you can see that there is already a queue that has formed a long line. After all, Dole Toys is still very famous in RB now, and the advertisements for Pokemon pet machines have been overwhelming these days. It's no surprise that there are so many of them.

"Kenichi, you're also here to buy a Pokemon pet machine. ”

When Kenichi Shimada heard someone calling his name, he turned around and turned out to be his good friend Kojiro Matsui.

"Yes, Kojiro, you're here to buy a Pokemon pet machine, too. ”

"That's right, my sister saw that the frog seed in the ad was too kawaii, so she pestered me and asked me to buy one for her. Matsui Kojiro replied with a wry smile with a helpless expression on his face.

Then, Matsui Kojiro asked suspiciously: "Kenichi, don't you only have one younger brother, don't your younger brother also like this Pokemon." ”

Kenichi Shimada replied a little shyly, "I didn't buy it for my brother." Hasn't Xinzi always wanted to have a pet, so I wanted to buy her a Jenny turtle pet machine and confess to her. ”

As a good friend of Kenichi Shimada, Kojiro Matsui knew that he knew about his best friend's crush and gave him advice.

"Then let's go and line up together!"

"Okay!"

As the team progressed, it was finally Kenichi Shimada and Kojiro Matsui's turn.

Ken Shimada was in front of the line, so he bought first.

"Please bring me a pink Jenny turtle. ”

"Okay. ”

The salesman smiled back, then took out a pink Pokemon pet machine from the counter and handed it to Kenichi Shimada.

"Here's the pink Jenny turtle you're looking for, and if you're lucky, you'll get one of three limited editions. ”

This limited edition plan was naturally also Wu Ming's idea to learn from the advanced experience of the later generations of Bandai Company.

In addition to the five regular editions of black, white, pink, yellow, and blue, there are also three limited editions of gold, silver, and purple. There will be no quota for these three limited editions, but one for every thousand regular Pokemon pet machines produced, one for each of the three limited editions. This ensures that there are only three people out of a thousand people at most, and the limited edition is guaranteed.

Half of the limited edition is sold at twenty times the price of the regular edition, and the other half is drawn by lottery. The packaging of the regular version is printed with a lottery code, and after buying it, you can get a limited edition as long as you scratch out the winning number.

When Ken Shimada heard that there was such a thing, he was also stunned for a moment, and then silently prayed in his heart, hoping to win the lottery. Then the coating was scraped off.

"This, this is, did you win the lottery?"

Kenichi Shimada was a little unfavorable at this time, you must know that the limited edition costs 100,000 yen, which is a lot of money for him.

The salesperson took the package, then looked at it carefully, and then looked at Kenkazu Shimada in surprise. It's just a routine for him to let guests scratch the prize, but he didn't expect someone to be able to scratch the prize.

"That's right, you've won the lottery, please choose one of the three colors of gold, silver, purple, and the type of pet. ”

At this time, Kojiro Matsui jumped up excitedly when he saw that his good friend Kenichi Shimada actually drew a limited edition.

"Kenichi, you've won the limited edition, that's great!"

The other people in line also lamented Shimada's good luck when they heard that someone had won the limited edition.

At this time, Kenichi Shimada fell into a difficult choice, he preferred Jenny turtle, but he didn't want two of the same pets, so he could only reluctantly cut his love and get a purple limited edition of the frog seed.

After returning home, Kenichi Shimada saw that he now had two Pokemon pet machines. I thought that if I gave the purple limited edition wonderful frog seed to Xinzi, the regular version of Jenny Turtle would stay and play with it by myself. In order to develop a common language with the girl Xinzi who has a crush. Thinking of the scene where he and Xinzi had a good conversation, Kenichi Shimada couldn't wait to unpack it, took out the Jenny turtle, and prepared to try to play with it.

The game was out of control, and Kenichi Shimada, a boy, was completely addicted to the joy of taking care of the baby, and he named Jenny Turtle Applejack.

After school the next day, he brought two Pokemon into the school, invited Shinko to the playground, gave Shinko the purple limited edition Wonderful Frog Seed, and taught her how to raise Pokemon. As the communication between the two deepened, Kenichi Shimada finally confessed to Shinko. And Shinko also had a good impression of Kenichi Shimada because of their relationship during this time, agreed to Kenichi Shimada's confession, and became his girlfriend.

In the following days, Pokemon became more and more popular, and not only children and students, but also many adults and elderly people indulged in the joy of raising Pokemon. The sales of Pokemon pet machines are also rising.

……

The day after the official sale of the Pokemon pet machine, Huo Jianning received sales reports from various regions.

The first-day sales in the Xiangjiang area were 419, a figure that Huo Jianning expected. North America sold 4,538 units on the first day, which is okay. The first day sales in the RB region were 13,742, which greatly surprised Huo Jianning's expectations, he knew that this Pokemon pet opportunity was very hot, but he didn't expect that the RB region would have such an amazing number on the first day.

RB people do have a soft spot for electronic pet machines, and the Bandai company sold 40 million in more than two years, and the sales in the RB region are as high as 20 million, accounting for half of the total sales.

"We have to step up production, and now we sold nearly 20,000 on the first day, and 1 million stocks are not enough. ”

Huo Jianning muttered to himself for a while, and then picked up the phone. I made a transatlantic phone call to Ricoh. said that Xingchen Entertainment urgently needs chips here, and let them produce chips immediately.

Then Huo Jianning left the office area of Xingchen Entertainment Game Company and came to the office area of Duole Toy Company next door.

"Knock knock!"

"Please come in!"

Wu Bingan raised his head and looked, it turned out that Huo Jianning was here.

"Jianning, why are you here?"

Huo Jianning sat on the seat opposite Wu Bing'an, smiled, and replied, "It's not for the Pokemon pet machine. Yesterday's sales came out, with a total of 18,000 units sold. ”

Wu Bingan was also shocked when he heard this number, he and his wife Li Feng had also played Pokemon, and they were also addicted to it for a while. Otherwise, he wouldn't have messed around with Wu Ming, and without going through the test of the market, he directly produced 1 million Pokemon pet machines and put them in the warehouse.

"This is good news, it seems that your Star Entertainment is about to rise!"

Huo Jianning was also not modest, and said: "Our Xingchen Entertainment is indeed going to develop rapidly, but I am worried that the 1 million inventory will be sold out in a few days, so I ask the chairman to help and make every effort to produce Pokemon." ”

"No problem, since Xiao Ming, this kid has created such a good situation, I, who is a father, can't hold back. I'm going to call right now and get the factory to produce Pokemon at full capacity. ”

Wu Bingan is very willing to help his son's career.
